LIMA, PERU — On a sunny Monday afternoon in Lima, Peru, the day after we celebrated Corpus Christi, I decided to walk to a nearby adoration chapel. I took the digital camera along and as I walked, snapped a picture every 3-4 seconds en route. (read more below)

I got more than a few odd looks because our neighborhood is far from any touristy areas of the city. Just after leaving Adoration, the camera’s memory card was full, I had taken almost 800 photos. Here is my first every attempt … Read More »

Starting from Zero in a New Country, Peru: Vlog # 1 (Bilingual)
12th March
We have most of our appliances now!
“We are hoping that a few people in Lima might begin to help us film and edit videos.”

LIMA, PERU — This is the first vlog from Annie and Al’s new adventure. They are hoping and planning on it being the first of many bilingual vlogs produced from Lima. In their own words:
Two months ago we arrived in Peru and began looking for a place to live. We spent a week apartment hunting in Lima’s hot summer afternoons until we finally found a place. Perfect size, quiet neighborhood, but it was not furnished. We spent a few uncomfortable days sitting on the floor eating take out food with chopsticks and sleeping on an air mattress that had a slow leak of air. … Read More »
What does it Mean to be a Catholic in Canada?
24th February
Canada is a “salad bowl” of cultures, and political correctness
“As a Catholic, I came out of Catholic high school barely knowing anything about my Catholic faith.”
Published on: February 25th, 2013 — 10:28 PM / OBS: SOUTH AMERICA
LIMA, PERU — What does it mean to be a Canadian Catholic? In a country that is proud to be a “salad bowl” of cultures, religions and traditions, it is becoming more and more difficult for Catholics to speak the truth. Megan Blair shares her story of growing up in Oshawa, Ontario, which is just outside of Toronto. She attended a Catholic school her whole life, but her faith formation was weak and the teachers and administrators were always walking on tip toes trying not to say or do anything that would offend others.

Toronto y Lima: Vlog # 34
14th October
Por un ratito, UnBilliondeHistorias fue al norte en vez de al sur. Para llegar en Lima, Perú nuestro vuelo empezó en Toronto, Canadá. Pasamos unas horas en el aeropuerto allí, y dentro de 12 horas ya habíamos llegado en el Perú. A las 11 de la noche llegamos en el aeropuerto Jorge Chávez en Lima, y Ricardo, el papá de familia donde nos quedamos nos recibió con un letrero que dijo Annie y Alejandro. Pasamos un mes en Lima trabajando tiempo completo en los colegios de San Pedro y Villa Caritas, colegios del Sodalicio de Vida Cristiana. El mes fue un tiempo de discernimiento de ver si Dios estaba llamándonos a mudarnos allí y trabajar como profesores de ciencias sociales (Alejandro) y música (Annie). Fue un mes bien intenso, los dos enfermamos con gripe, y los días … Read More »
Mistura in LIma Peru, a Popular Food Festival: Vlog # 39
25th September
Our return to Lima just happened to coincide with a 2 week long national gastronomic fair called Mistura. Ever the adventurous couple, we found our way there for over 6 hours one weekend, and we had a blast. Restaurants from all over Peru gather in this large park so the masses may sample their best dishes. We think we even saw a restaurant from Istanbul as well with juicy donor kebabs. The people come from all over the world to eat here (we definitely were not the only foreigners there). This is the third year Mistura has been running, and more people come every year. Wish you all had smell-o-vision.
Annie & Al Go Back to Lima, Peru: Vlog # 38
11th September
We’re going back!!! After a brief couple months of summer work and stability in upstate New York, we’re going to Lima, Peru once more. We will stay with a family in Lima for 1 month while we discern a job offer for the both of us to teach in a Catholic school of the Christian Life Movement. After that we’re planning to go to Bolivia, a first for us and for OneBillionStories. We will continue the OBS mission all the while, so keep sending prayers our way and keep a look out for new vlogs & testimonies.
Evangelizing the culture and helping the poor
10th September
An Australian named Greg goes to Peru to begin a year of growth and learning about the Socalitium of Christian Life in Lima, Peru. He is an aspirant, meaning he aspires to go into formation and come out as a consecrated lay man that will devote his life to the apostolic work he does evangelizing the culture. Meeting the people where they are at, but not necessarily being ok with where they are, and challenging them to move to higher levels spiritually. We found him with a mission group from Boulder, Colorado that went for 2 weeks to serve the poor in a shantytown in Lima. Greg has been living in Lima for the last year and hopes to enter his formation this coming year to become a Sodalith, a consecrated lay man with the movement. We hope you enjoy … Read More »

Gracias también al MVC por su apoyo para la misión en todos lados: Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, Medellín y Bogotá. Gracias a Dios por nuestra seguridad y el éxito del viaje y la misión, y gracias a todos ustedes por sus oraciones, su testimonios, y por mirando todo el contento que hemos publicado en unbilliondehistorias.com.
